Donald Trump may have recently said he likes Taylor Swift 25 percent less after she took her first political stance on social media, but her boyfriend, Joe Alwyn, stands behind his love of almost two years. While promoting his film The Favourite at the 2018 BFI London Film Festival, Alwyn — who very rarely speaks out about his relationship — revealed that he thinks Swift’s recent activity is “great” and “important.”

Last week, Swift posted a photo on Instagram endorsing two Democratic candidates and encouraging her millions of followers to get out and vote. She continued in her Artist of the Year acceptance speech at the American Music Awards.

“This award and every single award given out tonight were voted on by the people, and you know what else is voted on by the people is the midterm elections on Nov. 6. Get out and vote. I love you guys!” the singer said.

Swift has taken a new approach to her relationship with Joe Alwyn by keeping things pretty hush hush since the beginning.

In the past, Swift has not been one to keep her relationships private, and famously writes songs about her love life and her breakups. However, with her current relationship, she is doing things differently, and it seems to be working out well.

When Swift flew to London to meet Alwyn’s parents, she kept her visit on the down low by crashing at her friend Cara Delevingne’s apartment in Chiswick.

News of their romance surfaced in May 2017, but some speculate the two have been together since October 2016.

At the time, Swift herself sparked speculation because of a Tumblr fan post and a string of comments related to it that talked about Swift and Alwyn getting together before Selena Gomez and The Weeknd (Who confirmed their short-lived romance in January 2017.) Swift “liked” the post and the comments, which led many to believe she was confirming the claim.

Swift and Alwyn did both attend a Kings of Leon concert in October of 2016, so it is possible their relationship dates back that far.
